Located in the heart of Loudoun County, Waterford is a quintessential historic small town and is located just 9 miles west of the county seat of Leesburg. Waterford appears to be a village straight out of the colonial Mid-Atlantic. The site of a number of mills during the 18th century, Waterford quickly grew into a major agricultural center in Loudoun County. Today, the village and its mills remain intact and the subsequent economy has grown to serve a simple, elegant lifestyle. In addition to its niche shops, Waterford continues to be a hub for art, agriculture and vineyard cultivation. Much of the surrounding land is used for farming and raising livestock. Exceptional schools, historic sites, destination restaurants, steeplechase racing, twilight polo, wine festivals, and country fairs, are just a few of the reasons Loudoun County is ranked the number one place to live in America. Once you experience the celebrated Virginia Horse and Wine County and youll want to call it home.
